After updating, all projects show "No messages yet" in the session list
.jsonl files are intact in ~/.claude/projects/ with full content
sessions[] arrays in ~/.claude.json are all empty (0 sessions for all 17 projects)
Data is not lost — UI is just failing to index/display existing sessions

What Should Happen?
